Veronica Wells
Although her career in entertainment was nothing short of fascinating, Eartha also used her celebrity to take a stand on issues she felt strongly about. She spoke openly with the former first lady, Lyndon B. Johnson’s wife, about her displeasure with the U.S’ involvement in the Vietnam war and she was also a staunch advocate for same sex marriages.
Eartha passed away from colon cancer in 2008 at the age of 81.
